Re: problem starting max

ok, i went through looking over the belts and alternator and they looked fine. i tried restarting it normally today and it wouldn't start, so than i just pushed the pedal all the way in and restarted and rpms shot up really loud and car started. the warning lights went off and car started. im not sure what could be the problem now. i drove it around and it was fine, idle was a little low like around 600 at a stop, but other than that car ran fine. car also started leaking after i stepped on the pedal to start the car. i don't know much about cars, but it was on the left of the battery between engine and battery. it looks pinkish/purple and i think it might be transmission fluid. it leaked quite a lot, about the size of a wallet on the ground. after driving it around and parking it back, i rechecked and there wasn't a leak anymore. i gotta take this car in for a check later this week when i have a chance, this was the second time it wouldn't start up, first time was because the belt cracked and came off though. thanks for help
